Product details
Polmos Cytrynówka Lemon Cordial Vodka Liqueur is a Polish lemon vodka liqueur from Polmos, built on the aroma of the whole lemon, at 40% ABV in a 50cl bottle. The label calls it Cytryna, and the flavour takes in peel, juice and the bitter white pith together. A light grain note stays in the background, so it reads clearly as a lemon vodka rather than a soft citrus drink. The finish is sweet-sour, with sweetness winning in the end. It suits people who like a small, ice-cold glass of citrus with Polish food, or a crisp long drink in summer.
Polmos Cytrynówka tasting notes
- Nose: The whole lemon, from zest and juice to bitter pith, with cereal underneath.
- Palate: Lemon peel and sweetness, candied lemon and grapefruit peel, plus a floral hint of elder.
- Finish: Sweet-sour and fresh, with the sugar coming through last.
How to drink Polmos Cytrynówka
Keep the bottle in the freezer and pour it ice-cold into a kieliszek alongside smoked mackerel, herring in oil or a plate of cold cuts. The citrus cuts neatly through oily fish and pork fat, which is why lemon vodkas have a long history on Polish tables. Serve it at a summer barbecue, a name-day buffet or a New Year's Eve spread of zakąski.

How it compares
Miodula Sweet Lemon is a softer, honeyed 28% liqueur aged in oak, whereas the Polmos is more spirit-forward at 40% and fresher in its citrus. Within the Polmos line, Polmos Gruszkówka is rounder and fruitier with less acidity, and Polmos Pigwówka is more complex and floral. Choose Cytrynówka when you want clean, bright lemon above all.
Good to know
Polmos was the name of Poland's state spirits industry, and the brand is still closely associated with classic flavoured vodkas. The Polmos Cytrynówka 50cl bottle fits easily into a freezer drawer. Wodka Company ships Polmos Cytrynówka from London to customers across the UK.
Po polsku
Polmos Cytrynówka to likier na bazie wódki o mocy 40% w butelce 0,5 l, oparty na aromacie całej cytryny: skórki, soku i białej warstwy pod skórką. W tle wyczuwalna jest lekka nuta zbożowa, a w smaku pojawiają się kandyzowana skórka cytryny i grejpfruta oraz kwiatowy akcent czarnego bzu. Na końcu słodycz bierze górę nad kwasowością. Najlepiej smakuje prosto z zamrażarki, podana w kieliszku do wędzonej makreli, śledzia lub wędlin.
Frequently asked questions
What does the name Polmos Cytrynówka mean?
Cytryna is Polish for lemon, and the ending “-ówka” marks a vodka or spirit made from it, so cytrynówka means lemon vodka. Polmos Cytrynówka follows this traditional Polish style of lemon-flavoured vodka liqueur.
What mixer goes with Polmos Cytrynówka?
Tonic water is the simplest partner for Polmos Cytrynówka: about 40 ml over ice with 120 ml tonic and a sprig of rosemary. Ginger beer with a squeeze of lime also works, turning it into a lemony take on a Moscow Mule.
Is Polmos Cytrynówka sweet?
Yes, but not syrupy. Polmos Cytrynówka has a sweet-sour finish in which sweetness wins, while the bitter pith of the whole lemon and a grain note keep it fresh. Polmos Gruszkówka is the noticeably sweeter cordial.
